Edmure is of a medium height and stocky, with flowing auburn hair and a full beard. He has light blue eyes. Most of his features follow the usual aspects of members of House Tully. He wears bright mail in battle, with a helmet topped by a silver trout crest, and wears blue and red or mud and water cloaks.

He is the third child, only son and youngest child of Hoster and Minisa Tully. His older sisters are Catelyn Stark and Lysa Arryn. His mother died when he was a young boy and he was prepared to be Hoster's heir from a young age also.

He often went wenching with his friend Ser Marq Piper amongst others and had a number of affairs. On one occasion he had too much to drink and couldn't perform sexually, so he lost the girl to a singer. That singer then composed a song about a floppy fish, and this event has perpetuated Edmure's hatred of singers.

Edmure is left in charge of the Riverlands when Robb leads his army into The Westerlands. He invites the smallfolk into the walls of the castle so they can escape Tywin's armies and pillagers, although this significantly reduces their number of stored supplies.

Edmure agrees to marry a girl of House Frey to make up for his mistake at the Fords. He suspects that Lord Walder Frey will pick an ugly girl to be his bride, just as a way of spiting him and Robb, but the girl, Roslin Frey, turns out to be beautiful. After Edmure beds her and falls asleep the wedding becomes a massacre, with Edmure's sister and nephew both being killed. Edmure is then kept captive at the Twins until he is needed.

After the death of Robb Stark it is declared that Riverrun shall be surrendered to Emmon Frey, however Edmure's uncle, Ser Brynden Tully, refuses to surrender the castle. As a result, Ser Ryman Frey, who leads the siege of Riverrun, threatens to have Edmure hanged on a daily basis, however Brynden doesn't buckle and Ryman doesn't follow through on his threats.

Upon arrival Ser Jaime dismisses Ryman and takes Edmure as his own prisoner. He tells Edmure that if he surrenders the castle then he will be allowed to live in comfort at Casterly Rock, his child and wife will be allowed to join him and all the defenders of Riverrun will be spared, however if Edmure decides to not surrender the castle, Jaime will send him his baby via catapult and will use the riverlords, who had formerly been loyal to Edmure, as arrow fodder when they attack Riverrun.

Edmure waits a while before deciding, enough time for his uncle to escape and avoid being forced into taking the black or worse. He then surrenders the castle and is given an armed escort to take him to Casterly Rock, along with Jeyne Westerling.
